REFORMING AMERICA.
ORGANISED EFFORT PLANNED SUNDAY OBSERVANCE LAWS. (Received September 1. fi.l7 p.m.) A. and N.Z. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. The Washington correspondent of (he New York World says an alliance of the reform organisations throughout the United States, including the Lord's Day Alliance, the Anti-Saloon League, and the Methodist Board of Temperance has started a campaign over the whole country for funds for an effort to check the growth of crime. It intended to establish " blue " Sundays in all the States and to introduce bills in the District of Columbia, which may be adopted as models by the States, for closing barbers' shops, public dance-halls, theatres and commercial sports, and to have uniform State Jaws regarding the use of 'Sunday for military purposes.
The promoters hope that this will result in large attendances at the churches on Sunday.
